My son and I made that trip from San Antonio, and we had a great time ... had long chats with George Paterno, Larry Johnson, and others. One of the caterers took a liking to us and invited us in for the little "meet and greet" session at the hotel where Joe, George, and the PSU "Big Dogs" were hosted by some Fiesta Bowl folks. It was a great experience for my son -- and for me, too, of course -- watching Joe interact with all the Bosses.
The best part was, of course, driving back to Texas with a 38-15 win!
